      @Bossy Rossy... ( 😆 )

      ROSS
      Gender: Masculine
      Usage: Scottish, English
      Pronounced: RAWS
      From a Scottish and English surname which meant "promontory" in Gaelic, originally belonging to someone who lived on a headland. A famous bearer of the surname was Sir James Clark Ross (1800-1862), an Antarctic explorer.

      ALAN
      Gender: Masculine
      Usage: English, Scottish, Breton
      Pronounced: AL-ən (English)

      The meaning of this name is not known for certain, though it possibly means either "little rock" or "handsome" in Breton. Alternatively, it may derive from the tribal name of the Alans, an Iranian people who migrated into Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries. This was the name of several dukes of Brittany, and it was introduced to England by Breton settlers after the Norman conquest. Famous modern bearers include Alan Shepard (1923-1998), the first American in space and the fifth man to walk on the moon, and Alan Turing (1912-1954), a British mathematician and computer scientist.

        I have a Chinese name, too, though I haven't thought about it in years. (My wife is Chinese-American.) I'm afraid I don't have the character written anywhere, or actually know how to draw it...I think it might even be a non-Mandarin dialect.

        I'll have to ask my father-in-law to write it for me again.

        It is pronounced similar to the English name "Lou" and means destruction.

          Phillip is Ancient Greek and means "lover of horses". 😕 So I shorten it to Phil.

          Prince means prince.

          Meadows is english and means "lives in the meadow".

          So I'm a prince who loves horses so much he lives with them

                          yup, I used that one, it seems like their database and translator needs more work.

                          That was supposed to say "you are so full of yourself, but you made me smile".

                                "Peter, you are the rock on which I shall build my church..."

                                A quote from Christ (read the Bible) that was a pretty good pun, but it has lost all of its humour in the English translation !

                                    Yes, Pete. You could have been called Cuthbert. It might mean couth and bright, but that's pretty poor compensation...or Everard "hard (strong) as a wild boar"...big deal. 😄

                                      My first name is pretty self-explanatory, but my surname (Barkess) is Dutch or Norse I believe. The spelling has changed a lot over the centuries: Barcus, Barkas, Barkass are all evident somewhere on the family tree, but it is definitely distinct from "Barker", a well-known English name which is derived from either Middle English (tanner of leather), Old French (shepherd), High German (man who lived on a mountain) or modern English (man who sells fork handles).

                                      It's fairly common in a small area in the north of England, Tyne and Wear, but almost unheard of elsewhere- I think there's less than 10 individuals with the name Barkess in my homeland Scotland and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in Sweden. Having said that, I was told that it meant the skipper of a canal barge in Dutch and "barkass" means a longboat in modern Swedish so it's possible it was originally a Nordic name. Either way, I believe the name first appears in the North of England only about 400 years ago so there's no vikings on my father's side, but my mother's family was from the North of Scotland in Aberdeenshire where many vikings "settled" so you never know, maybe Sweden is my homeland after all.

                                          Phillip is Ancient Greek and means "lover of horses". 😕 So I shorten it to Phil.

                                          So does that mean you love ponies? 😄

                                          No, I shorten it to "Phil" because I don't love horses. "Phil" is greek for love... one of quite a few different words for love, actually.

                                          If I had been able to choose I'd have been something like Phillip Prince De La MacO'senson and I'd have hailed from Fieldlandvilleburgtontownabad.

                                            I had a friend who was born there. He was very indecisive.
